Life 2020

by Gus Eagleton

Gus Eagleton creates interpretations of reality and beauty within the urban landscape. With colour palettes and fluid lines, he manipulates light and shadow in an unrealistic and romantic way. He paints with considered velocity and magnetism, yet simultaneously the pieces embody slowness and a dreamlike feel. Gus explores the diversity and intrigue of the characters he encounters and as a true romantic, indulges in the beauty and charisma of the people he paints. Gus is compelled and influenced by the environment around him – the problematic high-rise development in the city, the gentrification in the suburbs, the fascinating abandoned industrial areas on the outskirts of town; these spaces are his subject matter and his canvas.

In This City

by Leah Falcocchio

Leah Falcocchio is an artist and graphic designer who’s proud to be a part of Brisbane’s vibrant creative scene. Her lettering work naturally favours block letters, as she enjoys playing with the depth and perspective that blocks provide. Leah primarily works digitally, finding the speed of vector programs the most rewarding, but she’s always open to the challenge involved with painting large scale murals.

2020 marks Leah’s third year participating in Brisbane Street Art Festival, painting a mural in her first year, and hosting lettering workshops in 2019. For BSAF 2020, she’s excited for the opportunity to contribute once again to the visual landscape of this city that she loves so much.
